Answer:
The correct answer would be the virus envelope.
Viral envelope is a protective covering present around the capsid proteins in some viruses.
It is usually derived from the cell membrane of the host and thus it is composed of lipid and viral proteins.
It provides stability to the viral particle, helps in protecting the viral genome, and aids in the fusion of the virus with the membrane of the host.
Examples of viruses in which envelope is present: herpesviruses, poxviruses, flavivirus, hepatitis D et cetera.
Examples of viruses in which envelope is absent: adenoviridae
, papillomaviridae
, picornaviridae
, caliciviridae et cetera.
Answer:
The question is incomplete, it lacks the mRNA sequence. The sequence is as follows:
5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′
The answer is Met-Ala-Arg-Lys
Explanation:
Gene expression in living organisms involves the process of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template while translation involves using the transcibed mRNA as a template to synthesize amino acid sequence (proteins).
In the RIBOSOME, where the synthesis of protein occurs, the mRNA nuceleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. The collection of all codons is the genetic code. Hence, for a specific mRNA sequence that reads 5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′. The nucleotides will be read three at a time starting with AUG which is a codon that encodes METHIONINE.
Next, GCA is a codon that encodes ALANINE
Next, AGA is a codon that encodes ARGININE
Finally, AAA is a codon that encodes LYSINE.
Hence, the amino acid sequence using the above mRNA sequence, will read: Met-Ala-Arg-Lys

Explanation:
In an ocean ecosystem, many types of fish and turtles are herbivores that eat algae and seagrass. Sea urchins are powerful primary consumers in kelp forests.
Answer:
Since high ethanol is a major stress during ethanol fermentation, ethanol-tolerant yeast strains are highly desirable for ethanol production on an industrial scale. A technology called global transcriptional machinery engineering (gTME), which exploits a mutant SPT15 library that encodes the TATA-binding protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Alper et al., 2006; Science 314: 1565-1568), appears to be a powerful tool. to create ethanol tolerant strains. However, the ability of the strains created to tolerate high ethanol content in rich media remains to be demonstrated. In this study, a similar strategy was used to obtain five strains with higher ethanol tolerance (ETS1-5) of S. cerevisiae. When comparing the global transcriptional profiles of two selected strains ETS2 and ETS3 with that of the control, 42 genes that were commonly regulated with a double change were identified. Of the 34 deletion mutants available in an inactivated gene library, 18 were sensitive to ethanol, suggesting that these genes were closely associated with tolerance to ethanol.
Explanation:
Eight of them were novel and most were functionally unknown. To establish a basis for future industrial applications, the iETS2 and iETS3 strains were created by integrating the SPT15 mutant alleles of ETS2 and ETS3 into the chromosomes, which also exhibited increased tolerance to ethanol and survival after ethanol shock in a rich medium. Fermentation with 20% glucose for 24 h in a bioreactor revealed that iETS2 and iETS3 grew better and produced approximately 25% more ethanol than a control strain. The performance and productivity of ethanol also improved substantially: 0.31 g / g and 2.6 g / L / h, respectively, for the control and 0.39 g / g and 3.2 g / L / h, respectively, for iETS2 and iETS3.
Therefore, our study demonstrates the utility of gTME in generating strains with increased tolerance to ethanol that resulted in increased ethanol production. Strains with increased tolerance to other stresses such as heat, fermentation inhibitors, osmotic pressure, etc., can be further created using gTME.
